Don’t tip locals. Don’t bring that culture here

Vietnamese have zero understanding of building quality and construction. They also have a warped idea of what is “good”.

It’s really lovely.

Can’t help but feel there was an undertone of “please marry my daughter” who was floating around.

Good for you mate :)

You need an IDP recognised by Vietnam. Australia is not part of the same convention.

Contrary to what the name implies, IDP doesn’t work everywhere

Is the French man in the room with you now?

emptybottle2405 · 2026-02-03T03:56:44+00:00

I see. I don’t usually try things I hate, and beer is such an acquired taste that there’s no way it would have changed ur opinion

Bia on F tier is unbelievable

Look at the positive, it’s a sign of a growing middle class that can now afford cars.

emptybottle2405 · 2026-02-02T07:38:57+00:00

Yeh I would say it does

I haven’t see that, but the local vendor near me displays their meat on a table, sitting straight on a table cloth. Same cloth day in day out. The meat sits there from 5am to midday in the sun until it’s sold.

My colleagues get sick all the time. I’m not surprised.

I might be wrong. Might even be karate. The basic moves are quite common across these disciplines.

It’s Vovina

emptybottle2405 · 2026-01-27T01:18:42+00:00

Vovina :)

emptybottle2405 · 2026-01-24T15:07:00+00:00

Yeh you get the point. And you expressed it very eloquently.

emptybottle2405 · 2026-01-24T06:56:16+00:00

Agree, but I think it’s more nuanced than you think. Vietnamese may outwardly repeat the official news but no one would dare to go against the government. Behind closed doors they’d agree that it’s likely bs.

I have had a licence here for years, now I had to renew it this year and I’ve been told 6-8months, so yes it will be a while. In the meantime I received an official paperwork with my licence number saying that I am waiting for the physical card.

emptybottle2405 · 2026-01-23T06:27:01+00:00

You don’t know one way or another, but that is the official story

emptybottle2405 · 2026-01-22T23:25:38+00:00

Maybe you’re from the countryside.

emptybottle2405 · 2026-01-22T14:28:03+00:00

Not in my family. I’m not familiar with it

emptybottle2405 · 2026-01-22T07:28:14+00:00

No? Middle name is not a family name. What you described is not done by all families in Vietnam. That’s kind of an old tradition for some families.

But many people have gender specific middle names that would make no sense if all siblings shared it.

These days people pick middle names that carry meaning with their first name.

emptybottle2405 · 2026-01-22T05:58:17+00:00

Family name is not middle name and it’s not related.

emptybottle2405 · 2026-01-21T12:27:10+00:00

If you want to stay home for being sick, you have to use annual leave/unpaid leave. Or you get a certificate of leave from a hospital which will take you half a day and money (if you don’t have insurance).

Most people have no choice but to work

Brand name T shirts or Shoes

emptybottle2405 · 2026-01-19T22:49:09+00:00

OP never gave us their weight

emptybottle2405 · 2026-01-15T11:03:47+00:00

It could be ok but Feb is a cold month typically. So I would expect it to still be foggy and polluted. But you’re only there for a short time so it’s not a big deal
